If it were a ramstrike it would show some milling from the collar and my guess is it doesn't. It would also have a big lip which it doesn't.

It's a pancake! Struck completely out of collar. No collar, no milling. Very cool!

Next Pancake Day is on Tuesday 17th February 2015. Used to be called Shrove Tuesday -The last day of Lent (the day before Ash Wednesday).

Here's a good coin error description page including a different "pancake" type of error. Coin Errors and Goofs (http://www.encasedcollectorsinternational.org/archives/coin_errors_and_goofs.htm)
